The bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 20-2-42x, to clarify the participation of Class XS licensees in youth deer season privileges. The key change is the removal of Class XS licensees from being authorized to hunt deer during any Special Youth Deer Season. This adjustment aims to delineate more clearly which licensees are permitted to participate in youth deer hunting activities.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing provisions regarding the Class XS resident senior hunting, fishing, and trapping license, which allows seniors to hunt and fish for various species without additional fees for certain stamps. The bill emphasizes the importance of coordinating with the Department of Motor Vehicles to ensure proper identification of the senior hunting license and mandates an annual report from the Division of Natural Resources to track the implementation and financial impact of the senior license program.
